Screw compressor foundation and installation
Thread Content
A screw compressor needs to be installed; it has no foot bolts and can be placed directly on the foundation, where it can be permanently fixed using expansion bolts. However, a secondary grouting layer was designed for the civil engineering foundation. However, the compressor and cooling system are placed inside a flat-bottomed box. If the equipment is leveled using shims and then grouting is carried out, the grout certainly won’t fill the gaps properly. Now, it is planned to use leveling shims first and then carry out grouting; immediately after that, the equipment will be placed on top, allowing the bottom floor of the equipment’s box to compress the grout layer itself, thereby ensuring that the grout fills the gaps tightly. Is this a viable approach? Pro gamer Kawan gives tips!
Sure, but the compressor needs to be fixed
Shouldn’t there be shock absorbers? They can be used to slightly adjust the levelness.
Installing a screw compressor also requires foot bolts; it cannot be placed directly on the foundation, and using expansion bolts for fixation does not meet the requirements for long-term stability. In other words: it must be installed in accordance with the specified requirements; one cannot cut corners! ! !
